order to get him out of the way. The
Democrats were for years thereafter

Thus ends a recital of a stirring day in
Journalism in Athens.
ANNUAL CONVENTION
" Athens has never Bean mire s irred
"than on a sultry afternoon in July, 1850,
and all by a woman. A’, that time the
•late Hon. Hopkins Holsey, an ex-Cor.-
-gressman, whose widbw u»w lives iu
Atlanta, was editor of the Southern
Banner. His office was over the store
now occupied by J. H. Bug -ins, but in
7 50 by .Dr. J. G» Orr and M*\ A. F,
Mandeville, the two doors having
a partition between them. . . .
As the merchants sat qiretly iu th“n
•dull Athens, they were attracted bv a
fejnale, dashing down the Southern side
of Broad street, with a half open ptra-
sol in the position of ‘ Make Ready,” in
military parlance. She rushed up the
*’eps leading to the Banner offiee and
into the edit r*s private olfice r where the
late Howell C. Flournoy wis reading.
She screamed out:
“Are you the proprietor of this insti
ll on?”
Alarmed by her excited manner, Mr.
Flournoy promptly replied: “No, but
you will find the foreman in the next
room.”
Off she dashed into the composing
roan, where she found Mr. T. S. Rev
nolds, the foreman of the oflice, at his
case. Walking up to him, she repeat
ed: “Are you the proprietor of this in
stitution ?”
“N<\” replied lie, “but I can attend to
anything you wish.”
Quick as thought she k-veled her para
sol on him and prosing it against bis
right side, puibd the trigger of a long
horse pistol,which was concealed there
in. The b ill struck a rib and glanced
round his body, passing on into the
wall behind. Terrified,Reynolds scream-.
ed out, “Oh ! Lord, I’m sho», I’m shot,
a woman has shot toe.”
Mis cries spread cons ernation through
out the office and the printers dashed
for the door. As each one pissed, the
frenzied woman, who was none other
than Jane Young, of Tugalo, made a
thrust at them with a glittering Bowie
"knife. The prinicis were Jim Bird, Joe
Braselton and V.P. Sisson now of At
lanta. Bird rushed down the st-’ps and
into the office of Dr. J. G. Orr, who
asked him, “What in the wo: Li’s the
matter, what are yon running from?”
“From a woman,” he excitedly re
plied.
“And why are you running from a
woman?’’
“D—n you, you’ld run too, if that
will creature up stairs was after yuu.”
Reynolds bad caught fire from the
pistol, and in a few moments, he too
came rushing down the steps, c r ying:
“J’in burning up, l’tn burning up.”
A'ter clearing the office, Jane Young
•came d'inu, end in her thir-t for .prin
ters’ blood, took the streets and ad
dressed everv one she met with, “Arc
you a printer?”
The first gentleman she came t» was
Prof. T. P. Pond, now of Tocco*.
“Areyou a printer?” she asked.
“‘No Madam,” he politely replied,
'“I’m only a professor ia the col-
• lege.”
Next she met Uncle Dick Saul ter,
'■who is a regular Chesterfield.
“Are you a printer,” she asked.
“No, madam, I’m nothing at all bat a
■qtoor stage driver.’’
The suavity of manner of those Jane
encountered, was doubtless affected by
the Bowie knifejshe flashed in one hand,
and the pistol she held aloft m the
other.
Up and down Broad street Jane
•strided. As she faced iitone direction
everybody darting into doors and be
hind counters, to peer" out again and
•watch toe frantic woman wben she
burned her hack.
Soon the marshal, the late W. H. Dor
. sey, who, by the way was as clever a
man as ever guarded a village, came up
-to arrest Jane. As be passed down the
street, he heard a countryman jeering
the crowd for not arresting a woman
Mr. Dorsey promptly accosted him, say-
ring : “I have the authority to summons
anyone to assist me in makiug an ar
rest. I therefore call on you.” The
countryman made a break through Dr.
•Orris store, and nevet returned to
Athens for months.
At length Jane was captured; but
with arms held down, she continued to
-snap that terrible pistol, aad Mr. Dor
sey often remarked thit the bore
i-looked like a cannon’s month.
Her person was searched and another
qnstol found in her boot. As she was
bring taken to the guard house Mr.
Holsey met her just at Barry’s corner,
“What in the world is the matter?”
asked he,
“‘I would have shown you d—n quick,
if I had found you in your office,’’ re
plied J sue.
“What’s the matter?” repeated Mr.
Holsey.

Odd Numbers in American History.
As public attention is now much di
rected to American history, I have been
led to notice i>s strange preponderance
of odd numbers. First there is the three-
fold < occurrence of seven—for instance,
America is spelledjwith seven^letters,the
number of commissioners who first met
for union against Indians was seven,
and then the revolution was a war of
seven years, whose annals included
throe sevens, which only occurs once in
a thousand years. Looking at other
odd numbers, the Albany congress was
ordered in 1753. Its number was
twenty-three, and it began on the 19th
of June and closed the 11th of July.
Sir WiJiam Johnson defeated the
French at Lake George in 1785. The
stamp act congress (as it was called;
contained twenty-seven members. It
met in New York October 7, 1765, and
its platform and principal papers are
dated October 19. James Otis, one of
the members, had begun resistance by
his opposition to the British government
in 1761. The destruction of tea in Bos
ton harbor occurred in 1773, and hos
tilities began in 1775. The number of
colonies was thirteen, and the number
of letters in our rational motto (E Plu-
ribus Unutr), is the same.
The most sensational battles occurred
on odd days. Lexington, for instance,
was on April 19, and Bunker Hi 1 on
the 17th of June. Montgomery’s un
fortunate attack on Quebec occurred
December 31. The year, in which the
odd numbers cccured in the most strik
ing manner (1777) brought the greatest
number of battles. Burgoyne’s worst
defeat occurred in October 7, 1777, and
be surrendered on the 17th. Wayne
stormed Stony Point July 15. 1779.
This was the most brilliant bayonet as
sault during the whole war. The vic
tory at COwpens was won January 17,
1781, and on the 19th of the next Octo
ber Cornwallis surrendered.
The treaty of peace was signed Septem
ber 3, 1783.—Hartford Evening
Post.

No Wonder She Envied BrUget
A rich society lady told her servant, “I
wish I could be as st-onr, healthy and
full of life as you arc”! Th«* lesson is
plain. . The girl had plenty of exercise,
and confuitu’ional health and content-
mcnt.Riches will not- buy health,always,
but broken-down women can find sure
relief in Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion. It is a powerful, invigorating, re
storative tonic and nervine, and imparts
strength to the .» hole system in general,
and to the uterine organs and appen
dage ■« in parti ular. For “rundown,’’
debilitated and feeble women generally
it is the greatest earthly boon.
Mr. Lincoln’s Belated Farewell •
When the Hon. K." Todd Lincoln was
informed that be had been nominated
for the English mission, he told a re
porter that he wasn’t at all certain that
be could abandon his business affairs in
order to enter the diplomatic service.
The impression he sought to convey
was that he was fairly overwhelmed
with business. In less than a week,
however, he showed up in Washington,
and informed the President that ho was
ready to start for England. He would
have started, too, bad not Brother
Blaine vetoed the scheme. “No,” said
Brother Blaine, “you must wait until
the English representative arrives in
this country.” This was the Hou. P.
Todd Lincoln’s first lesson in diploma
cy, and tho minister plenipotentiary to
the court of St. James is now doing his
best to kill time until the date of his
departure arrives. All of a sudden his
important busimfs affairs have been dis
posed of and forgotten.
Mr . Lincoln’s friends in Chicago are
greatly mortified because no steps have
been taken here to tender that gentle
man some public mark of esteem, and
of appreciation of the honor conferred
by the President upon one of our citi
zens. While they recognize that Mr.
Lpncoln is by no means the kind of man
that endears himself to his townsmen,
they think that under the circumstances
an expression of good-will should be
given. Accordingly they are liostMng
about very busily, and will probablv
succeed in getting up a farewell dinner
or some demonstration of a similar
character.
j
The Verdict Unanimous
W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind.,
testifies: “1 can recimmi-nd Electric
Hitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every
case. One man took six bottles, and
was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’
standing.’’ Abraham Hare, druggis%
B; llvill ’, Ohuyrifirms: “The best sel -
mg m dicine I have ever bandied in my
20 years’ experience, is Electric Bit
ters.” Thousands of others have added
their testimony, so that the verdict is
unanimous that JClectnc Bitters do cure
all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or
Blood. Only a Rdf dollar a bottle at
John CrawYotd <fe Go’s or L. D. Sledge
& Co’s Drugstores.
Meiuoi !al Day.
